Ferrari Mailing List: Re: OFF Topic (sorta) Lotus Elise?

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

I got excited at first, then I read on and realized
that you were talking about the NEW Elise.

Lotus still believes that the path to acceleration is
achieved by adding lightness and that means the car
will be a BLAST to drive!  No, I haven't driven one
but I did own a Europa.  I'd love to have another one
too - if I didn't live in this solar furnace called
Houston!
